A blood pressure cuff, referred to as a sphygmomanometer, is a medical instrument designed to measure blood pressure. It features an inflatable cuff that encircles the upper arm and is inflated to momentarily halt blood flow in the artery. As the cuff is slowly deflated, the healthcare professional uses a stethoscope to detect blood flow sounds, known as Korotkoff sounds, which reveal the systolic and diastolic pressures.
The Blood pressure cuffs Market is expected to grow with a significant CAGR of 5.34% during the forecast period (2024-2032). This is mainly due to the desire for rapid growth, more and more companies are making mergers and acquisitions as ways to boost their capacities and shares and increase their knowledge of new advancements in the blood pressure market. The increasing prevalence of hypertension, technological advancement, and increased penetration of home blood pressure devices facilitate the blood pressure cuffs market. Moreover, growing investments and increased government initiatives are further flourishing growth of this industry. For instance, The World Health Organization has launched the "HEARTS" initiative, which includes technical guidelines that offer cost-effective strategies to be implemented at the primary healthcare level to manage blood pressure and prevent health complications such as heart attack, stroke, and other health issues. This package includes key elements such as standardized drug dose-specific treatment protocol, accessibility to quality medications, and advanced monitoring systems such as automated blood pressure monitoring devices to evaluate patient progress and disease management.
Based on the product type, the market is segmented into automated and manual. The automated held a significant share of the market in 2023. Automated product type is expected to experience significant growth in the future. The growth of this segment is driven by the provision of remote monitoring, ease of use, and the potential to provide fast responses. Automated product type is easy to use and doesn't require skills or experience to measure blood pressure, which makes it popular among consumers. This further helps in the establishment of an enhanced blood pressure cuffs market.
Based on the usage type, the market is segmented into reusable and disposable. Reusable held a significant share of the market in 2023. This offers cost-effectiveness, size compatibility, and durability, as these can be used several times by different individuals. These are majorly used in home blood pressure monitoring devices for remote-self monitoring purposes. However, the disposable segment is expected to be the fastest segment in the forecast period due to the rise in healthcare-associated infections. Disposable blood pressure cuffs are discarded after one or two uses by single users, which makes it highly effective in infection control. For instance, SunTech Medical Inc, which is a leading BP cuffs manufacturer stated that reusable BP cuffs carry bacteria that lead to the spread of infections among the patients, due to which hospitals are switching towards disposable BP cuffs from reusable ones. Furthermore, frequent product launches by key market players are escalating the growth of the disposable blood pressure cuffs market in the forecast period.
Based on the end-user, the market has been divided into hospitals, home, and others. The home segment is expected to grow with a significant CAGR in the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to the increased implementation of remote monitoring and growing emphasis on self-management of the disease. More people are gaining interest in self-monitoring the disease by measuring their blood pressure on a regular basis. This has led to increased penetration of home blood pressure monitoring devices that are simultaneously increasing the blood pressure cuffs market.
For a better understanding of the market adoption of blood pressure cuffs, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. Asia-Pacific is expected to grow with a significant CAGR in the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to the high prevalence of hypertension, especially in countries like China and India. The focus is on developing initiatives and schemes to control hypertension by strengthening preventive measures such as increased use of blood pressure monitoring devices in the healthcare settings as well as at home to boost the blood pressure cuffs market in the Asia-Pacific region. For instance, The India Hypertension Control Initiative (IHCI), was started in 2018 to improve hypertension control in India by strengthening healthcare settings with required tools and resources such as blood pressure monitors to ensure accurate and improved diagnosis and treatment and reduce overall burden of hypertension in India. Furthermore, the Government's push towards digitization is enhancing the use of automated blood pressure devices provides an added boost to the market.
